Training to Become a Teaching Assistant

Hello Everyone,

Before we applied for our Visa I went for an Apprenticeship as a Teaching Assistant but never succeeded. Please can someone help me as I would love to be able to start a course over in Oz and get my qualifications to become a Teaching Assistant and then eventually to become a Teacher. My OH has fully supported me in being able to go back to education while he earns the pennies . I would just like to know where does courses like this, I have tried to search the web but only jobs are coming up (which I suppose is a good sign). I am also wondering whether to e-mail a school and see if they could tell me what I would need to get qualified in and names of courses. I would also like to know before I arrive because we would like to live near the place where I would study so the commute wouln't be too much.

Hi aim a teaching assistant in the uk and now I'm in oz I have found out that the job doesn't mean the same here. You are move like a lsa. You don't work with the same teacher or class all the time you move about and do the jobs like preparing materials and setting up the classroom. If you are in the uk look for a four year teaching course. A friend of mine as a three degree and is strugg
Ing to teach in south Australia. Hope this helps and it sounds right.
